It's gone to VAR and the referee has been called over to check the pitchside monitor.

It looked like handball from Mohammed Amoura.

In real terms, the goal makes no difference to Villa but it gives them some leeway. They'd have to concede twice to lose top spot.

A crucial touch from Joe Gomez stops Lazare Amani in the box but at the expense of a corner.

Liverpool win it in the box, then break quickly through Cody Gakpo. He has support either side of him but he doesn't release it.

But a replay shows he was fouled as his boot comes flying off after being caught from behind.

Bad news for Union Saint-Gilloise as Toulouse has scored in Austria.

That means they drop to third in the group again.

Subs!

Villa bring on captain John McGinn and left-back Lucas Digne for Jacob Ramsey and Alex Moreno.

Kevin Mac Allister puts in a good challenge to rob it off Luke Chambers but Cameron Puertas' resulting effort flies way wide.

Ben Doak is dragged back by Noah Sadiki as he breaks down the right and it's a yellow card for the Union Saint-Gilloise player.

That means he misses their next match should they progress to the play-offs.

Nice play again from the hosts.

Cameron Puertas picks it up just inside the box but he's closely marked by Jarell Quansah.

Mohammed Amoura was unmarked behind him if Puertas had left it and he would have had a clean shot. He's not impressed!

Jacob Ramsey has a shot blocked, corner to the Aston side.

Douglas Luiz swings it in and it's headed behind by Ezri Konsa. Well that's what the referee says, but Villa say it came off a home head.

The first five minutes of the second half has essentially been Liverpool passing it across midfield. No added intensity yet.

West Ham know a draw will be enough for them to finish top of the group - and therefore avoid two extra matches in a Europa League play-off.

Noah Sadiki comes crashing into Kaide Gordon near the halfway line.

Liverpool are looking to control things better than they did in the first half.

Nice.

Cameron Puertas does a little maradona turn to keep possession then backheels it to a team-mate under pressure.

A reminder that his side can only reach the knockout round play-offs as group runners-up if they beat Liverpool and Toulouse lose to LASK.

That game is currently 0-0.

The hosts are straight on the attack but, luckily for Villa, Tomislav Kis basically air-kicks the ball.

The second half is under way.

So far, so good for Villa. Well it's been awful but they only need a point.
